This has been and always will be my very favorite Christmas song! Stille Nacht (Silent Night) was also my mom's very favorite and she loved the Vienna Choir Boys...so it's perfect as to why I chose it for footnoteMaven' s Tradition of Blog Caroling...thank you fM! And here's to you Mom and Oma . . . Schlaf Gut . . . Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh! . . . I love you ~

I am glad I stumbled upon your blog. I also was born in Germany and came to the states via my army Dad and Mom (both German born). We now live in NC but my son lives in San Diego with his wife and son. I am now subscribed to your posts.

Cathy, I am so glad you stopped by too . . . if you are in San Diego, let me know, maybe we can meet. It's great to always meet a fellow German family history friend. What part of Germany were you born in?
